AN Eisteddfod-winning youth choir will rouse fans ahead of Wrexham’s must-win game tomorrow.

Urdd Eisteddfod champions Aelwyd Rhuthun will sing the Welsh National Anthem before the 3pm kick-off.

The Dragons’ last game of the season at the Racecourse will decide whether they stay in the Football League or drop to the Vauxhall Conference.

Yesterday Wrexham FC press officer Geraint Parry said: “The choir will sing before the game on Saturday. I think they wrote to us before the Torquay game and said they would like to sing.

“We asked them if they would like to sing before the last game of the season.

“Brian Carey wants to treat the game like a normal league game, he does not want it to be a celebration, and that is the way he wants the team to prepare.

“But the choir should give the fans a lift and get them going before the players get on the field.”

Wrexham are currently two points above the drop zone. But if Boston beat them on Saturday and Macclesfield win, the Dragons will vanish into the Conference.

The Racecourse is expecting a massive crowd to cheer Wrexham on and secure league soccer next year.

Dyfan Phillips, chairman of Aelwyd Ruthin, said: “Forty five members of the choir will take to the field just before kick-off and we’ll sing Hen Wlad fy Nhadau – the Welsh national anthem.

“Hopefully the massive crowd will join in and give the Wrexham team a boost for the match.”

Wrexham FC officials contacted the choir last week and asked them to take part in the pre-match activities.

“They wanted us to sing the song I Mewn i’r Gôl (Into the Goal) which was recorded by the Rhos Choir 30 years ago when Wrexham were doing well in the old Second Division.

“It wasn’t possible in the few days this week to learn that song properly but we’ll all be giving our best,” he said.

“I contacted the club last year and mentioned we could sing on the pitch before a match but it was only in the last week or so they got in contact. It will be a big match and the atmosphere will be electric,” added Dyfan.

The mixed voice choir, led by music teacher Ann Davies, ranges in age from late teens to 30 years of age.

Dyfan added: “The younger choir from the Aelwyd are also joining us as well so the ages range from 12 upwards.”

Later this month both choirs are competing in the senior competitions of the Urdd Eisteddfod at Carmarthen.
